The construction of the sewage disposal plant, with the necessary sewer lines leading to it and the sludge beds for taking of effluent, means a project of con- siderable size, the cost of it running into a sum between $500,000 and -600,000. Plans and specifications for this project were pre- pared for the city council in 1928, after the . subject has been given ocnsiderable discus- sion. The discussion, in fact, started in Octo- ber, 1927, when Dr. Berry of the Provincial Board of Health addressed the city council, ~ with reference to the need of the city tak- ing proper action to take care of its se- wage. On January 23, 1928, Alderman A. R. Alloway moved and Alderman Boddy, seconded in city council, the following res- olutions :---- "Whereas it is desirable that a com- plete survey be made of the situa- tion with reference to sewage dispos- al for the city of Oshawa, with a view to making adequate provision for pro- perly treating and disposing of the se- wage of the city of Oshawa, there- fore be it resolved that the matter of sewage disposal be referred to the Board of Works, with instructions to report to this council as soon as pos- gible as to ways and means of provid- ing satisfactory facilities for sewage disposal for the city." As a result of this resolution and further discussions in council, the firm of Gore, Nasmith and Storrie was engaged to make 2 survey and report on Oshawa's needs for # sewage disposal plant. On July 21, 1928, this report was presented to the city coun- il, recommending the construction of a sewage disposal plant to cost $534,000. Al- ternative sites, one on the southern por- _ tion of the city farm and the other in the township of East Whitby on the swamps In the neighbourhood of Harmony Creek, were suggested. ~ 'Since that time, the sewage disposal plant scheme has been up for discussion on "several occasions, but successive councils 'have not felt that the time was propitious to proceed with the project, and, lacking a mandatory order from the provincial board . of health to install it, the plans have been tet in abeyance. It has been felt, however, that if the un- employment situation at the present time to be dealt with in an adequate man- ner, 'some large project would have to be "undertaken, since most of the smaller work wi done last winter under the relief work scheme, Mayor Marks and his council have apparently decided that the time is therefore ripe to go ahead with the sewage ' pal plant, since it is not likely that he uld have made the statement he did hout the knowledge and approval of his gues. The city will be fortunate in a 3s measure if this project can be car- _ out with governmental assistance, reby half of the cost will be borne Phere by the provincial and federal gov- ments, as was the case with the work e last winter. And, in addition to hav- he cost to the city cut in half, there the additional advantage that a con- action job of this size will provide many s of employment for a large number 'of men. This gives hope to the unemploy- 'who will now wait more eagerly than for the announcement of government y which will enable the work to go E pw WHAT WAS IT? All Oshawa has been talking for the last two or three days about the story that kind of a sea serpent was seen in the ers of Lake Ontario off the Oshawa . Most people scoff at the story, but Brantford campers who originated it positive that they saw something un- , both as to size and characteristics, imming along off the lake shore. As story spread, of course, like a snowball downhill, it gained in sensational- : , until some people were heard to say at a great beast, seventy feet long, with & head like a "horse and - a long flowing e has chased the bathers i of the dy One does not like to express absolute dis- belief in stories of unusual fish being seen in lake waters. The Brantford men with whom The Times conversed seemed per- fectly sincere, and doubtless felt they had some grounds for their belief that an un- usual fish was out there in the lake. But to call it a sea serpent, or to describe it in the terms given above, is rather stretching the truth. It is not quite fair to the swim- mers who enjoy the facilities at the Osh- awa lakefront to frighten them away with exaggerated reports, based on hearsay, as most of the stories are. Nobody has yet been found to give a reasonable explana- tion, however, of what was seen in the lake, and so the mystery remains unsolved, with the question, "What was it the Brantford men saw?" still waiting for an answer. LACK OF CONSIDERATION Some people are woefully lacking in ocn- sideration for the comfort, convenience and feelings of others. In this category might be placed those persons who have made life miserable for residents of the summer col- ony at Oshawa-on-the-Lake by their all- night bathing parties. No one would ob- ject to bathing enthusiasts selecting the midnight or early morning hours for their dips in the lake, if they did so quietly and with decorum. But when these early morn- ing parties are accompanied by shouting and shrieking, by an unearthly din created by people, mostly young people, who would be better off were they at home, asleep in their beds, it becomes more than a nuis- ance. During the past few nights, accord- ing to information which has been given - to The Times, there have been many such parties, with the result that summer resi- dents at the Beach have found it impossible to sleep. This lack of consideration on the part of the midnight revellers might well be given even a stronger appellation, but this is published in the hope that, if it cat- ches the eye of any of those who had a part in the midnight revels, they will, from ev- ery shame, refrain from repeating them in the future. EDITORIAL NOTES The Oshawa Sea Cadets will have an un- usual honor in that they will be the first corps of this kind in Canada to be inspect- ed by Admiral of the Fleet, Earl Jellicoe, during his coming visit to this country. Alderman Macdonald's plea for strict economy in civic affairs is timely, in view of the great needs of the relief department. The chairman of finance is a real watchdog of the treasury. It is only to be expected that there will be eriticisms of the ¢ity council from some quarters because of the failure to appoint an Oshawa man as city engineer. The evidence of Senator McDougald and others shows that it is not always neces- sary to wait until a big project is completed before making millions out of it. The appointment of an advisory board to assist Miss Farncomb in administering civic relief should relieve that official of much of the undeserved criticism which has been showered upon her. Other Editor's Comments TWO OF A KIND (Kitchener Record) The unemployed man who is willing to work when a job is offered him and who depends on relief money as a last resort deserves every sympathy. There are many jobless in that category. On the other hand it seems, according to informa- tion given by several would-be employers, there are some jobless who are less con- scientious. These would rather follow the lines of least resistance and obtain aid from the city as long as they can manage to do so. Fortunately the latter are in the minority. Nevertheless they spoil things for the more deserving. BITS OF HUMOR Mrs. O'Brien (concluding argument) : "Every time I look at you, Mrs. 'Iggins, I feel I'm doin the Government out o' Enter- tainment Tax." "I never worry about my husband pay- ing attention to other women--he's crazy about me." ' "But perhaps he has sane intervals?" "That girl swimmer is a record-holder." "What's her record?" "Rescued eighteen times in two weeks." BITS OF VERSE THE PEAR JREE In this squalid, dirty ddoryard Where the chickens scratch and run, White, incredible, the pear tree Stands apart and takes the sun, Mindful of the eyes upon it, Vain of its new holiness, Like the waste-man's little daughter In her first communion dress. ~EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY THAT ADVERTISING IS THE BEST FORCE TO USE IN OR- DER TO ATTRACT ATTENTION TO YOUR BUSINESS. Continuous advertising is the power that brings steady business. Only continuous * advertisers take the lead in the business world. Non- advertisers simply lag behind, little known and soon forgotten. It is a well known fact that bus- iness comes where it is invited and stays where it is well treated. If you don't invite business by adver- tising you should not expect much of it. . Business concerns that advertise reap the favor and confidence of the public. Business concerns that invite busi- ness by truthful advertising grow in Popularity. It costs less to sell advertised goods. trying to sell goods without the aid of advertising means lost time, lost effort and lost money.

The most common of course, is head- aches, and blurred or noticeably re- duced vision but these are the fol- low-up of some minor warnings al- lowed to go unheeded such as wear- iness, nerve exhaustion, headaches, eye watering, twitching of the lids, itchiness of eyes and reddened lid edges and a feeling of sand in the eyes, styes and inflamed eyes and lids. When these symptoms are evi- dent it is quite common for your eyesight to appear alright, but your eyes arc not alright, because for them to see in a normal way they must expend or waste nerve energy, Don't wait for danger to be evident, if you are not sure about your eyes make sure To be continued.
